Of course it does. Your statement:
"if you go to any of the virtualhost set up on port 80, via https"
is mistaken. If you say "https://www.blah.blah/"; then the browser will assume port 443
because you said "https". At this stage, the browser doesn't yet know that the server
has a virtual host on port 80 called "www.blah.blah". So it makes a request to the
server ip address on port 443 and so you get the SSL site.
The problem is that your statement isn't true. You could actually do what you say by
entering https://www.blah.blah:80/ in your browser. Now your browser will try to
establish an SSL connection on port 80. This will fail with a server error because
your server does not speak SSL on that port.
